More Urban Art at the Harlow Block. A silouette of Sir Tophamhat of Thomas the Tank Engine fame, perhaps? A plume of angry smoke? Only the artist knows for sure!

Signs of life at the Harlow Block – The Bat
These days a stroll by the Harlow Block at the corner of NW Glisan and 8th is like turning the pages of a scary childrens book.
Painted wooden forms grace the
plywood canvas that too long has defined the facade of this overlooked gem in the Pearl.
The first page features a bat which lets the reader know that this unique display of urban art will follow a nocturnal theme.
The Harlow Block gets a Facelift
The Harlow Block, located at Glisan and NW 8th at the Northern end of the Park Blocks has sat shuttered and abandoned for as long as we can remember. It is a stark reminder that urban renewal occurs in fits and starts and can leave some buildings frozen in time.
We detected signs of life today outside of this once proud structure in the form of wooden artforms gracing the plywood which one normally encounters on a stroll up Glisan.
What does it mean?
Stay tuned and Stay Fresh!
